Hi, Maybe anyone can give me advice- My son is 5 years old, and has a very bad behavior problem. The fits he throws, the hate he has, the mood swings, the 6 daycares he was thrown out of and much more has got me and my husband to the "i dont know what to do point." He was on Depakote- and that made him about 60% worse, now he is on Adderall- and he only takes 2.5 mg dose. My question is: Does everyone start off on that low of a dose, and how long did it take your to go into affect. Tommy has been on it now for 2 weeks, and I do not see a very big change, he is almost worse as far as his behavior to me and my husband, help with some input, or email me direct to Nevola2@aol.com. Please type in the subject about Adderall or something- as I delete mail from people I do not know. Thank you so kindly, Jo Jo
